‘I had pins and needles everywhere! But we are so happy and on the right track,” she said before kissing her husband.
Emma Last month, she broke down in tears as she told listeners that Enzo had chronic kidney disease and they were struggling to find an organ donor.
She explained that they hoped she was a match so he could undergo the procedure as soon as possible.
‘I am now trying to save my husband’s life. Enzo has chronic kidney disease and he needs a living donor transplant. Hopefully I’m that donor,” Emma said.
“We’ve gone through a lot of tests… we’re currently waiting for that one test to determine if I’m a match. It’s the first time I can finally help him physically, after years of feeling like I could only watch him suffer.’
She added that she was working hard to maintain a sense of normalcy in her household during this difficult time.
‘I also have to prepare for the news that I am not a match, and I have to come to terms with that. I still do important things that make him feel safe and supported,” she explained.

“It’s so Enzo can live a long and healthy life and watch our boys grow up.”
